tbh this is pretty accurate, however if he clearly defines it then botters will know better how to cheat the system. Tricky situation for sure

Its definitely a bind. But rough guidelines help. It also concerns me because I often worry that English speakers (myself included) knee jerk label something as spam or a bot, when really its someone who wants to join our conversation, and is doing it all though Google Translate. If someone is working twice as hard as I am to be part of the conversation, I absolutely don't want to accidentally discriminate against them because their replies sound a little clunky.

Totally get that, think it’s an admirable sentiment, and empathize but at internet scale you don’t have the luxury of bringing everybody along for everything Content markets in 2024 are so efficient that the onus has to be on the poster to keep up or just sit back enjoy Nobody is owed a platform 🤷♂️

No, but what's wrong with just heavily biasing the algorithm towards the kind of content that platform wants rather than straight up hiding content it considers undesirable?

Nothing is wrong with that, it’s just not the choices that the Merkle team is making for the client they are spending their time and energy building Totally reasonable to be upset by it (and totally reasonable for them to want to build their app their own way)

I also think the team is making completely reasonable decisions. I've never built a social platform, so what do I know. But at the same time I can recognize there's a tech elite/english/wealthy person bias who doesn't want to look at messages from someone who is poor and non-english speaking. I think Lauren is doing her best to point that part out - like you said it's got good heart behind it but it's also hard to truly solve for. Idk just kinda thinking out loud at this point <3

Yeah, I have no beef with anyone. It's not an easy puzzle to solve.
